STO Chairman Amir Mansoor Hits Out at Government’s New Foreign Exchange Rule
STO Chairman Amir Mansoor criticised the government's new foreign exchange rule, saying he is "not doing business to pay off the government's political loans" and that businesses get "zero" in return. The Maldives Monetary Authority regulation, introduced on 1 October, requires resorts to exchange at least US$500 per guest into Maldivian Rufiyaa and has drawn fierce backlash, with over 50 resorts refusing to comply.
